Building apps from command line
-
Hi guys,
Seems a strange problem, to which I have failed to found a solution yet.
I need to have certain lines in my pro file to execute only when the app is run from within the Qt Creator and I want them to be ignored if qmake is executed from command line. If that is possible I would certainly welcome a solution. Tried to search if Qt Creator defines something which can be detected from within the pro application file and then those lines of mine would be executed as I want. Currently if I qmake and make the app from command line I need to comment those lines temporarily. -
@Emil-Kaczmarek You can use environment variables for that.
"To obtain the contents of an environment value when qmake is run, use the $$(...) operator:" , see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-language.html -
That was the problem, I used $$ without brackets. However, qmake function equals does not seem to be capable of comparing two environment variables, namely:
equals($$(OUT_PWD), $$(PWD)) {
message("PATHS ARE EQUAL")
}Does not work as expected. It should execute when pro file is run from command line.

OK,
finally solved by
PATH1 = $$OUT_PWD
PATH2 = $$PWD!equals(PATH1, $$PATH2) {
